Top line is missing a LW like the Nashville series.

Top pairing D is also missing a RHD like Nashville series.

Imagine playing the guy with 4 goals ahead of the guy with 7 goals? lol

Ekholm is easily the best Dman on both team in the playoffs and playing him in the bottom pairing is just hilarious.

Some of you guys are an awfully serious bunch.

its playoff time dawg there is only time for serious......

- Johnathon Toews

 

[Navx94]

If he’s not with McDavid the difference between Miller and Draisaitl isn’t that big of a gap.

LOL WHAT?

 

[Senor Catface]

LOL WHAT?

Hey back off! Miller has 10 whole goals in 84 playoff games!!!

 

[WetcoastOrca]

they arent, they are going to control the play and wait for the canucks to take penalties and put the dagger in them. the preds are not the oilers and the canucks barely beat nashville

You’re playing the top team in the Pacific hombre! Not a team like LA.

Ohh man, go back and read my reply again, holy crap you don't get it.

LA would’ve beat you guys in 5.

 

[Bgav]

LA would’ve beat you guys in 5.

Why? Regular season doesn't matter

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

I just wanted to say how much I love it that the other series threads have like 10 pages each with one series even having already played one game. And this one has 83.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

We beat you guys 4 straight this year. And LA had our number. You can throw the regular season out the window.
I think you’re exaggerating how good the Oilers are. We will see.
I’d have the Oilers as slight favourites with Demko injured. But it’s not like either team is a top contender like Dallas or Colorado. Both teams have had fairly favourable draws so far.

 

[McJC]

Honestly, I just don't see this series being very long if Pettersson continues his disappearing act.
Nucks fans - who will be going up against Draisaitl? I'm assuming Miller gets 97

 

[Avsfan1921]

this fanbase is going to get humbled so badly, can't believe some of the things im seeing

Which one? They’re both ridiculous lol.

I expect Edmonton to win out but Van is a good team and anything can happen, look at mtl a few years ago…

Sure. But you’re an Oilers fan. You don’t see your own teams weaknesses. I mean you finished in 9th spot.I think we can all agree that the Oilers are better than their record but it’s not like the team is unbeatable.
Too many of you have been reading all the press clippings.

Oilers are -220 by people that do this for a living. Your “regular season 4-0 sweep deeeerp” doesn’t mean shit.

You don’t see the Canucks weakness? You guys averaged 18 shots a game lol.

In one series we had low shots and we won that series in one more game than it took the Oilers to beat LA. And yes I do see the teams weaknesses which is why I said with Demko out the Oilers should be slight favourites.
You need to slow down a bit and read posts before getting so upset.

oilers fans know our weaknesses, above it all though what I see is a team that isn't f***ing about anymore

watching vancouver vs nashville I'm not sure I can say the same

 

[Navx94]

-220 being the biggest favourite going into the second round by experts that actually take everything into account > you.

Anything is obviously possible but the Oilers have better top end talent, more grit, and more experience

Yes. The Oilers had a good first round series and wrapped it up one game earlier than the Canucks. This is a new series. Throw the first round out the window.

They have better top end talent. That’s it. Like every year they will go as far as McDrai carries them as we saw when they played Vegas and Colorado the last two years.
I think this Oilers team is better than last year but I still don’t see them as an unbeatable juggernaut in the same class as Dallas or Colorado. LA was a pretty good draw for them.

 

[Navx94]

Yes. The Oilers had a good first round series and wrapped it up one game earlier than the Canucks. This is a new series. Throw the first round out the window.

Your teams won one series in how many years? Congrats on winning a round but that’s all the Canucks are going to do this year.

 

[WiLBoY]

Edmonton should have this in the bag unless Silovs plays unreal but he's not Demko. Pettersson has also disappeared since 2 weeks before his contract signing. It's hard to win when your best players aren't your best players.

 

[Szechwan]

Damn, this is seriously bad news for EP and his usual antics.

Oh well, I’m looking forward to a well ref’d series!

Jokes on you, EP is just naturally weak on his skates

 

[Canovin]

Nucks has an odds of -220 due to Silovs

 

[I am toxic]

As a neutral fan I can’t see how you can objectively say “that’s it”. The oil do have more experience no doubt. Also, imo, more grit but that’s quite subjective and who knows if they use it to their fullest extent/advantage.
